Best Pumpkin Muffins

I already warned you that Pumpkin Season has started here on Lil’ Luna, and I hope you guys are okay with that. I figure you can never get enough pumpkin. Right?! 😉 Now that September is officially here, I feel like the holidays are almost here. That may sound crazy to you, but this month seems to fly with the start of school and the start of fall sports. Don’t you think?? I also think it will fly by even quicker for me since I’ll be welcoming baby #5 next month (6 weeks to be exact), and I’m not sure if I’m ready for that just yet. 😉

With that in mind, I’ve been working my tush off to get tons of great fall recipes and projects ready for you guys so that when baby comes I can take some time off and enjoy all the baby love I can get! This next recipe is another one of those “fall recipes” that are perfect for to enjoy this time of year. They are Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Muffins that are so simple to make but seriously so stinking delicious. You can have them for breakfast but they’re so good you may think they’re dessert. The Cinnamon Sugar Streusel top is the bomb.com, and I think you’ll love these. 😉

How to make Pumpkin Muffins:

There are three parts to these amazing pumpkin muffins:

The muffin

The cinnamon sugar topping

The DELICIOUS cinnamon cream cheese spread

To start, line a muffin time with baking cups and set aside. If you’re going to use the buttercream spread, start by making that, so it has time to refrigerate while you make the muffins. Beat together all the ingredients required for the spread until creamy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Begin making the muffins by combining the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt) in a bowl, then set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin, melted butter, and eggs. Add the wet and dry mixtures together and mix until just combined. Spoon batter evenly to fill muffin cups. Bake for 22-23 minutes at 400°. While the muffins are baking, make the cinnamon sugar topping by simply combining the cinnamon and sugar. When the muffins come out of the oven, dip the tops of the warm muffins in melted butter and then in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. We like them best served warm with the cream cheese spread!

These Pumpkin Muffins are filled with fall flavors, and I think you’ll especially love the cinnamon butter cream cheese spread that goes with it. As mentioned, they can be made any time but are great for any get together or fall brunch too! This is definitely a great and simple fall treat to make and enjoy this year. 😉
